Chapter 47: Mackenzie Wolves (Sixteen)
Quinn observed the tip of his tail that was bitten, and estimated that the black wolf cub's injury should have healed. So he repeated the same trick and came to the vicinity of the wolf pack's territory again.
As a result, they waited from noon until the sun was setting, which was already past the black wolf cub's favorite time to fool around, but he still didn't show up.
What a little coward, he must be scared after being bitten last time.
The wolf king was secretly disappointed with the black ball, and his overall evaluation of it fluctuated between "high" and "low".
Seeing that his wolf pack's hunting time was almost up, Quinn turned around slowly and was about to return the same way he came.
Suddenly, he heard the crisp howl of a wolf in the distance.
The voice of a sub-adult wolf is too clear, and its howl sounds like a dog barking, lacking the momentum to shake the world.
Quinn slowed down and just turned around, he saw a round ball of black hair running towards him at the fastest speed like an arrow.
Before approaching, Quinn keenly noticed that the wolf cub's eyes were different from the previous two days.
His eyes used to be clean, clear, and even revealed a bit of holy compassion, as if he could only see the light and beauty in the world.
He looked like he didn't understand the suffering of wolves.
After two days of absence, the little wolf had no idea what he had been through, and his eyes gradually revealed the sharpness that a Mackenzie wolf should have.
——Finally, I look like a wolf.
"Ah!" Yu Yiyun spread out his claws and rushed towards the enemy beast with great momentum, letting out the most ferocious wolf howl.
Quinn ignored his still-barking dog-like barking, dodged the frontal attack, and expertly tackled the wolf cub to the ground.
The weak wolf cub, who could only struggle two days ago, sensed the danger, immediately showed its claws and fangs, and fought back without hesitation.
Quinn has rich combat experience and naturally knows how to avoid chaotic attacks.
However, seeing that the wolf cub was aroused, the wolf king became serious for the first time in a long time. He lowered his head towards the sharp claws and let out a wolf-like roar.
“Ooooooooooooo!”
Yu Yijun felt the pressure from the wolf king and felt fear out of instinct.
Gray wolves have their own rules for survival.
The weak wolf can judge that the opponent is stronger than itself through the roar, and then be suppressed by the bloodline and subconsciously make obedient movements.
The moment Yu Yiyun sensed fear, she immediately struggled to break free and threw the cowardly thoughts out of her mind.
Don't be afraid.
In the wolf's war, if you show cowardice, you lose!
"Ah, woo, woo!" Yu Yiyun bared his fangs and bravely pounced forward again.
Quinn discovered that the wolf cub was not like the ones he had met before: it quickly surrendered and showed weakness to his roar and did not even dare to resist.
Quinn jumped high into the air, intending to pin the wolf cub to the ground and force him into submission.
This time, the experienced wolf king finally made a wrong prediction.
They did not stay away from the forest, which was conducive to the performance of the black ball, like they did last time.
Looking around, there are many trees suitable for climbing.
High altitude is Yu Yiyun's comfort zone.
He did not miss the opportunity, and quickly climbed up the tree, using his 'falling from the sky' killing claw mace. He finally used inertia and weight to push Quinn to the ground, giving him the opportunity to attack.
Yu Yijun aimed at Quinn's neck, revealing his white canine teeth.
Quinn reacted quickly, but it was too late.
The black ball has already gained the upper hand, and has been attacking his weak spots. Today, he will have to go back with some injuries.
Quinn is not afraid of getting hurt.
But looking back on the wolf’s life, how many years has it been since the Wolf King was pushed to this extent?
Quinn used his absolute strength to shake off the wolf cub and lowered his head to check his injuries.
Wolves remain highly aroused during a fight, controlled by hormones, and feel almost no pain.
Sometimes they will even remain in an excited state and continue fighting, and eventually die from excessive blood loss.
Quinn was experienced with injuries and knew to ignore the severity of the wound.
He immediately confirmed the injury and found that his neck was wet with saliva, without even a broken skin.
Quinn: ???
The black-haired wolf cub didn't actually bite after all.
Quinn, who was well-informed, couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Last time, he deliberately exposed his weakness in order to stimulate the bloodiness of the black-haired wolf cub.
This time, the black-haired wolf cub showed enough aggressiveness and created opportunities for himself.
If it were any other wolf, at this point, it would definitely attack without mercy, even if the opponent was just a sparring partner.
Why did the black wolf cub give up the chance twice?
——The reason is very simple.
An enraged wolf, dominated by blood and rage, has no concept of 'stopping when the time is right'.
But Yu Yiyun has it.
He now realized why Quinn had taken the initiative to provoke him and initiate a family-style fight.
Quinn is teaching himself.
Although Yu Yijun didn't understand why the Wolf King would leave his own cubs alone to train and instead come to train the little wolves from a strange wolf pack?
But Quinn was willing to impart his combat experience, and the black-haired ball was very grateful, so how could he hurt his teacher?
Besides, if he bit Quinn and the wolf king took real action, the consequences would be unbearable.
[The dog is scared.jpg]
Yu Yiyun approached Quinn tentatively and nudged his lips, which is the cub's way of expressing gratitude to his elders.
Quinn squatted quietly for a few minutes, finally lowered his noble head and rubbed him gently.
The same thing happened countless times throughout the following spring and summer.
Sometimes, the two of them fought each other near the wolf pack.
Sometimes, the battlefield is directly in the habitat of the Rocket Squad Wolves.
For the first time, Yu Yiyun broke into the Quinn wolf pack alone, bypassing the huge family and challenging the wolf king directly, which shocked more than 30 wolves in the entire pack.
Wha-what’s happening?
Having followed the Wolf King for so many years, they have seen large wolf packs coming in large numbers to cause trouble, and have seen male wolves in their prime trying to shake the Wolf King's position.
As a result, they all ended in failure without exception, proving Quinn's absolute strength!
Wolves are able to exchange information, which is equivalent to humans' 'circle of friends'.
After some propaganda by the Sheniu Wolves, all the wolves in Yellowstone knew that Quinn was very powerful.
So far, it has been two whole years and no wolf has dared to provoke him.
Now, the black ball, whose hair has not even fully grown, is actually challenging the Wolf King aggressively in front of the Quinn family members.
Do you think your life is too long?!
The wolf king's left and right guards took action first, preparing to drive away the ignorant little wolf and let him know why the flowers were so red.
Before the left and right bodyguards went out, Quinn moved faster than them. He rushed forward to fight without saying a word, and was even a little... excited?
The other wolves tried to step forward to help, but were roared at by Quinn, so they retreated silently and watched the situation.
Everyone watched in silence for a while, and it was Quinn's partner and the two oldest children who reacted first:
Quinn was guiding the black-haired cub in his own way.
The reason why Quinn's wolf pack is so powerful is that when the cubs were young, they not only learned how to hunt, but also learned how to deal with their own kind and brown bears.
The older wolves in the family will pass on skills to their cubs through fighting.
Quinn's two oldest litters of cubs were taught by the Wolf King himself.
In order to help the cubs grow better, Quinn will train his children through real wolf pack battles and driving away grizzly bears.
Even though he knew that in a battle with a truly ferocious beast, he could die if he was not careful.
Quinn's first two litters of cubs received unreserved teaching from their father and grew up to be true wolves. They also passed on the same experience to their offspring and their offspring.
As for the wolf king, it has been a long time since he personally taught his cubs.
The three little wolves in the Rocket Class squatted there and watched for a long time before they realized that the Wolf King was personally teaching the black ball. They were so envious that their eyes sparkled green.
Why should the black-haired ball receive treatment that even its own wolves cannot enjoy?
The top student was not willing to be outdone, so he pounced forward and took the initiative to join the melee.
The other two little wolves were also eager to try.
Before stepping into the battlefield, I heard the wolf king's muffled roar, and subconsciously turned my ears away and dared not cross.
Quinn took the time to glance at them and knew that their ceiling was set.
The black-haired wolf cub seized the opportunity, immediately pounced over, and rolled into a ball with the wolf king in his arms.
The top student ran over and seized the opportunity to attack, but he didn't dare to strike because of the roar of the powerful male wolf.
Quinn broke free from the black fur ball, pinned him under his claws, and met the wolf cub's unyielding eyes. He seemed to understand why he looked at him differently.
Wolves have a strong sense of order.
All wolves fear wolves that are stronger than themselves, and therefore submit to them.
Only he is different.
Even if they are afraid or suppressed, they will still rush forward without caring about their lives.
"Oh~"
The black ball twisted its fat waist, but found it could not escape the wolf's claws, so it begged for mercy from its master.
After the same training is repeated several times, he will usually make this sound as the end signal.
"..." Quinn heard such a shameless sound, raised his paw and kicked secretly at the same time.
Today's Wolf King is still jumping back and forth between 'looking up to' and 'looking down on'.
.
Yellowstone's summer is short but particularly tough on wolves.
It is located in a high altitude area in the central Rocky Mountains, and there is an active super volcano underground.
Under the dual scorching heat of the sun and the ground, the rain will evaporate before it hits the ground.
Unfortunately, the geological structure of Yellowstone Park is mainly lava formed by volcanic eruptions, which cannot absorb water.
Every summer, puddles in forest wetlands are at risk of drying up and water storage capacity drops significantly.
Herbivores that need a lot of water are coming in fewer and fewer numbers, and it becomes difficult for the wolves to find food again.
Moreover, the situation is different in summer and winter.
Whether it is elk, bison, moose, or antelope, they can all eat enough food and their physical strength is at its peak.
Some animals with long gestation periods, such as American bison, enter their breeding season in the summer, which greatly increases their attack power.
In such a situation, because the hair on their bodies is too thick, the wolves are at risk of heatstroke or even death from heatstroke if they run long distances. They can only lie dormant quietly and wait for the arrival of their winter.
Of course, that's what ordinary wolves do.
With the arrival of summer, the Paw Patrol, which could only beg for food a few months ago, has suddenly stood up and become the main hunting force of the wolf pack.
They are now one and a half years old and their fighting power is equivalent to that of adult wolves.
But they are not yet sexually mature physically and are not easily discovered by prey.
The Paw Patrol is different from most wolf packs. Under the leadership of the captain, they often complete hunting by hiding, ambushing, borrowing force, etc., saving energy to the maximum extent and avoiding the burden on the body caused by high temperature and long-term running.
The leader of the Paw Patrol, Black Ball, was personally trained by the Wolf King. After two months of repeated training, he finally changed from a "dog-like" to a "wolf-like", and his claws and teeth gradually became sharper.
The one who felt this most clearly was not the Paw Patrol, nor the family members of the Wolf Pack, but the academic master.
As a top student in the Rocket Class, Xueba is usually one step ahead of the wolves and shows his superiority in front of wolves of the same age.
Ever since they were accidentally dragged into their game while following the Paw Patrol, the Paw Patrol has been playing games with the top student whenever they get the chance.
After two months of fighting and playing, he became a non-staff member of the Paw Patrol.
Even so, as the top 1 of this year's Little Wolf, the academic master still maintains his pride and tries hard not to get involved with that bunch of good-for-nothings.
Unexpectedly, two days ago, the Rocket Class Wolf Cub and the Paw Patrol chose the same prey.
As the Paw Patrol became more and more tacit in their understanding, in the first few fights, the Rocket Class Wolf Cub wasted his energy in vain and ultimately lost everything.
Now that they have run into the Paw Patrol, they have learned their lesson and are planning to give up their prey.
But the academic master refused to accept the defeat, and rushed forward with all his strength, determined to compete with the black hairy ball running in the front.
Today, the Paw Patrol is responsible for the main hunting mission of the entire wolf pack.
In order to prevent their newborn brothers and sisters from going hungry, the Paw Patrol will definitely not give up the prey!
The prey chosen today is the wolves' staple food, the Canadian elk.
Both wolf packs were very familiar with this prey, which had horns with eight or more forks, was good at running, and was more docile than bison, and they roughly knew its movement trajectory.
The academic master was competing with the wolf today and was determined to prove that he was stronger than an ordinary wolf. He passed the black-haired ball from the side and front, intending to bite the sika deer in advance.
As a result, he made too much noise and frightened the elk. The deer's hooves almost flew sparks. He rushed towards the herd of elk as fast as he could and stood in the center, trembling.
Gray wolves are apex hunters but are smaller than most prey species.
Faced with herds of deer, cattle, or even sheep, they would be helpless.
Seeing the prey that was right in their mouths slip away, the Paw Patrol, who had worked in vain, lay down on the spot, looked up at the deer with their dog faces and sighed.
Even for a large wolf pack, hunting failures are still common. The simple-minded dogs of the Paw Patrol did not care about it.
Suddenly, the Paw Patrol and the Rocket Wolf Cub who were lying on the ground to rest heard a shrill wolf howl at the same time.
The black fur ball failed in its hunt, so it pounced on the academic master without hesitation, opened its mouth wide and bit his neck.
“Woo woo woo!”
The black fur ball's bite was not severe, but the academic bully had not been bitten by his own kind for a long time except for the period when he was a child and was establishing order.
What made him even more ashamed was that the black ball's bite was clearly punitive, blaming him for his recklessness and losing the prey.
As the best among the little wolves, how could Xueba stand being insulted by his own kind? He immediately opened his mouth and pounced.
Heimao jumped up first, and his movements were exactly the same as what the Wolf King taught him.
Quinn has experienced too many wars among his own kind, so he can predict in advance how wolves with different personalities will act, and then pass on these experiences to the wolf cubs in battle.
The top student missed his target, and the next second, the world was spinning.
When he reacted, he had been knocked to the ground, with a bloody mouth in front of him.
"Oh oh!" The nerd was afraid that his neck would be bitten, so he immediately made a sound of weakness, folded his ears and lay on the ground.
Once he makes this gesture, it means that he acknowledges that the other person is stronger than himself.
The wolves watching all knew: the top student was showing weakness.
Seeing that the top student admitted defeat, Yu Yiyun did not persist. Instead, she howled to call the Paw Patrol: Take a break and continue hunting.
He had no intention of fighting with the academic bully. If it was a season with abundant food, Yu Yiyun would be happy to engage in healthy competition with his peers.
But not now.
He must find prey for his family before he dies of heat.
In the scorching summer, not only is prey hard to find.
Dead animals exposed to the sun will quickly rot and stink.
Gray wolves are scavengers and omnivores. If they cannot get fresh prey for a long time, they will eat animal carcasses that have been rotting for many days.
There are too many scavengers in Yellowstone, and animals that die accidentally or from disease are often taken away by grizzly bears.
If they really can't find meat, wolves will eat grass and gnaw tree bark to fill their stomachs.
However, the nutrition provided by plants is limited after all. Most gray wolves will become extremely thin due to lack of food, and the probability of their cubs dying will increase accordingly.
In this case, tourists who come to Yellowstone will notice a large group of fat gray wolves.
Before summer, all the Mackenzie wolves changed into summer clothes, and their fur became several layers thinner.
After some wolves lose their hair, they become skinny and their appearance greatly deteriorates.
Only the Teresa wolf pack and the Princess Wolf Pack were still plump and fat in the midsummer, and each of them looked adorable.
Even the cubs of the two wolf packs were several times rounder than those of the other packs. Especially the best-developed one, Xiaobai, curled himself up and lay on the ground, looking like a harmless glutinous rice ball, which made the tourists want to ignore the "safe distance" and run over to touch it secretly.
Of course, what they want to rub more is the hero of the revenge drama, Jin Tong, who is growing at an astonishing rate.
Since the summer, the popular Jin Tong has attracted much attention, with new photos posted to the forum almost every day.
Supporters who kept a close eye on Jin Tong watched in amazement as he grew from a chubby little wolf to a strong and sturdy man.
While family members were becoming increasingly plump, Jin Tong gradually lost weight and developed a strong and muscular waist.
At first, everyone thought that Jintong, the glutton, was ostracized by the family because he ate too much.
Until the ranger released the video of the Alliance wolf pack eating together, Jintong, who was responsible for the hunting mission, always squeezed next to the queen like a starving ghost, inhaling violently, eating from the front of the wolf to the back.
All the wolves were full, but he was still crunching on a bone.
Thanks to the Golden Eyes, the nearby coyotes couldn't pick up the garbage and were so angry that they moved away collectively.
The little black wolf's appetite did not decrease at all, but his exercise volume increased several times, and the fat gradually turned into muscle.
Sometimes the weather is too hot, and tourists who are familiar with the activities of golden-eyed wolves will squat near the hot springs and always wait for the black-haired wolf cubs to run over and perform dog paddling for everyone for several hours.
In addition to the changes in body shape, supporters who began paying attention to Golden Eyes from the fifth month onwards also noticed changes in the little wolf's eyes.
The golden eyes of a puppy are adorable and look non-aggressive, just like the most docile domestic dog.
When tourists accidentally encountered golden pupils, they didn't feel scared at all and just wanted to catch them and take them home in a colorful sack.
Starting from spring, the golden pupil's eyes became sharp and sharp, as if the wolf nature hidden in the blood was awakened.
In the summer, tourists who deliberately waited for the golden pupils were too scared to cross the safe distance and come into contact with the golden pupils.
In addition to their fear of top hunters, they were also worried that crossing the safe distance would bring unnecessary disaster to their own little wolves.
After all, the current golden pupil can easily tear humans apart.
Yu Yiyun finished a day of hunting and combat training and comfortably soaked in the hot spring and swam on his back.
With my keen ears, I caught a tourist a hundred meters away muttering something in a serious manner:
'So handsome', 'Wolf Prince', 'Will he turn into a human on a full moon night'...
The shy black fur ball shook its ears, sank its mouth into the water, and spit out a string of bubbles.
——Of course I know I’m handsome!
Even though gender and age don't matter, could you please just stick to your species?
The black-haired ball, who was voted "the most handsome little wolf in Yellowstone" by a high vote in the forum, was praised so much by tourists who came to see him that he felt embarrassed.
Luckily, his fur was dark enough so his blushing couldn't be seen.
The scorching summer passed in a flash, and before August was completely over, the temperature in Yellowstone dropped sharply.
Animals are very sensitive to seasonal changes. Elk and bison begin to eat frantically in preparation for the upcoming long-distance migration.
Quinn's wolf pack migrated earlier.
They would set out early and ambush in the valleys where migrating animals passed.
Thanks to the wolf king's experience, he can always have a buffet during the migration, allowing the huge wolf pack to gain enough weight in the autumn.
Before leaving, Yu Yiyun said goodbye to Quinn while holding a string of pine nuts in her mouth.
Quinn was well-informed and more or less knew the concept of a "gift." He took the pine nut ball and dug it with his claws, but couldn't get the pine nuts out.
Yu Yiyun had suffered humiliation under his clutches for more than three months, and now she finally turned the tables!
He said proudly, "Ahhhhhhh", and demonstrated to the wolf king: How simple it is, all you need is a claw~
Could there be a wolf?
Facing the arrogant cub, the wolf king gritted his teeth and said viciously: I will come back to deal with you next year.
"Ah!" Okay!
By next year, when the black fur ball reaches its peak, the wolf king will be eight years old.
By then, it will be hard to tell who will take care of whom.
The black fur ball wagged its tail, its mind filled with thoughts of betraying its teacher and ancestors.
The Quinn wolf pack migrated south again along the same route they came, but one wolf stayed behind.
The eldest princess was playing with the four-month-old wolf cub when she heard the little brother's howling from afar, accompanied by a unfamiliar smell.
Soon, the wolf cub brought the top student he had kidnapped from the next class, and barked at the princess to take him in.
The top student who left home alone for the first time skipped the "wandering" process and just found a new home.
The white-haired boy took the initiative to rub against the top student to show his acceptance and friendliness.
They had belonged to the same pack, and they still belonged to the same pack, and the bond between the families was growing stronger.
The Quinn wolf pack cursed as they retreated away.
The wolf king reserve trained last year joined the wolf pack.
The top 1 wolf cub trained this year has joined the wolf pack.
We in the Rocket Class work so hard to educate our next generation, just to train you as wolves, right?
What a huge injustice!
However, each wolves has its own ambitions. No matter how much Quinn's wolf pack complains, they cannot change the reality that two consecutive best graduates from the school have transferred to the same school.
The autumn wind blows again, and it has been exactly one year since Yu Yiyun turned into a dog.
He still kept the habit of calculating time. He drew 73 correct characters with his paws. Then a strange wolf howl pierced the darkness.
The male gray wolf, wrapped in cold wind, swaggered into the wolf pack's territory and let out arrogant wolf howls.
He planned to kill the current leader and take the entire wolf pack for himself.
The invading wolf was estimated to be about three years old, at its peak, and weighed at least 150 kilograms.
There is a long scar from his eyes to his nose, which is proof that he has experienced fighting.
Baimao, who had been injured while hunting a few days ago, immediately rushed over.
The cunning and aggressive male wolf immediately noticed his weakness and repeatedly attacked Baimao's wounds, forcing him to be defeated quickly.
The rest of the wolf pack rushed forward and surrounded the male wolf.
The male wolf knew the survival rules of the wolf pack, so he sped up his efforts to break out of the encirclement and directly challenged the eldest princess, who was the leader.
The reason he broke into the wolf pack was because he saw that the leader of the pack was a female wolf.
In front of a powerful male wolf, a female wolf either surrenders or is bitten to death.
Unexpectedly, the male wolf made a wrong calculation this time.
The eldest princess had no intention of giving in. She protected the cub behind her and unexpectedly bit the wolf's mouth.
Risking the same bite, the sharp teeth penetrated his jaw.
The male wolf felt pain and threw the princess away, but his mouth had been bitten through.
The eldest princess, who was also injured, stared at him coldly and licked the blood on her face.
The standoff lasted just half a minute.
Suddenly, the loud cries of ravens cut through the cold wind.
The next second, a shadow flashed before my eyes, as fast as lightning.
The ghostly black shadow bit the wolf's neck accurately, and its canine teeth were deeply embedded.
